I assembled my fake Christmas tree and I decorated it with red and gold balls and 5 Elvis ornaments. Pookie directed me from the couch. “No, lower, to the right, in further, there, no! Up further, yes, good!” I am very happy with how it turned out. It’s a pretty Christmas tree. I think I’ve decided I want to have a little mini-Christmas party. I think it may help keep me focused on the spirit of the holidays. The last few years it seemed like Christmas just got away from me. It went from December 1st to January 1st in a blink of an eye and I ended up feeling so sad because I missed my favorite holiday. I am really trying this year to get into the spirit. And I think a little get together may help. We shall see.

And with that said, I have evening events 4 out of the 5 nights this week. One User Group Meeting and 3 Business Holiday Parties (which really aren’t fun Holiday Parties with friends and eggnog but rather regular business networking events but with a Christmas tree and a Menorah in the corner). I hate when business usurps my life and my personal priorities. When will I have time to sit on the couch and stare at the television set watching episodes of The Family Guy which I have already seem numerous times? Or will I even have time to heat up Tyson chicken wings and eat them over the sink while slurping up Yuengling? How about the time I devote each evening to shaping my eyebrows! I will have to deal with this intrusion… I will be okay.
